Yes, if your physician shares your opinion of the injury in his/her notes. Make sure you have filed a Form 18 with the NC Industrial Commission ASAP. Also visit their website to print a Bulletin and other helpful items. You can link from our links page at ncworkcomp.com. Call an experienced WC attorney if you think you are getting "the run around" because you are probably right!
Good luck and best regards,
